Veendam Review

Additional details
Friends were celebrating their 50th anniversary. They were a few cabins away from us.
The ship is old and there were many, many problems. Clogged drains and toilets, the air conditioners were hit and miss, older decor and a layout that lead to dead ends for the first couple of days were some of the problems.
My wife wanted to use the Fitness area but the staff sprays the equipment, carpets and air with a scent that she was quite allergic to.
Cabin Review
Verandah Suite
A mini suite cabin turned out to be about the same size as a normal cabin but did have a couch.
We ended up in an Oceanview room one night because the air conditioner would not shut off and it was too cold to stay in the room. We were told the next day that we would be staying in the Oceanview for the duration of the cruise but the engineers managed to do a workaround enough that the cabin was habitable. The temperature continued to fluctuate but never too hot or too cold to make us go back to the Oceanview. We did receive $200 and a bottle of wine for the inconvenience.
The steward was great!
The bathroom had a shower in a jetted tub but the sides of the tub were very high making entry and exit problematic.
Small TV.
